Employees of Rosneft enterprises held a large-scale environmental campaign in Samara and Saratov as part of the Volga Day. Volunteers cleared more than 140 thousand square meters of the coastline of the great Russian river from garbage, collected and removed 50 cubic meters of household and current-borne garbage.
During the campaign, employees of Samaraneftegaz, Kuibyshevsky, Novokuibyshevsky and Saratovsky Oil Refineries, Novokuibyshevsky Petrochemical Company, Novokuibyshevsky Oil and Additives Plant also improved coastal areas in recreation areas of Samara and Saratov.
Environmental volunteering is an integral part of the corporate culture of Rosneft subsidiaries. For several years, volunteer campaigns to collect plastic caps, waste paper, batteries and other environmental initiatives have been held at the enterprises of the Samara Group.
Preservation of water resources is a significant area of Rosneft’s activities in the field of environmental protection. The Company’s subsidiaries pay great attention to measures aimed at improving the efficiency of wastewater treatment, developing a water recycling system, and rational use and restoration of water resources.
Samaraneftegaz is implementing a comprehensive program to preserve natural resources. The company has completely stopped taking water from surface water bodies to maintain reservoir pressure; only recycled water is used in production.
The Kuibyshev Oil Refinery is implementing projects to modernize production, including the plant’s treatment facilities. Thanks to the reconstruction of the recycling water supply units, water intake and water pipelines, the share of recycled water in the enterprise’s water supply reached 91.5% by 2024.
Over the past five years, the Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery has reduced its wastewater volume by 45%. Thanks to the membrane bioreactor at the treatment facilities, the plant increased its use of recycled water to 96% and reduced its intake of river water by 10.6% during the year.
The Saratov Oil Refinery is also actively working to reduce water consumption: over the past five years, the plant has reduced its intake of natural water by 57.3%. The Syzran Oil Refinery is systematically reducing its intake of water from natural sources for production purposes. The share of recycled water at the enterprise by the end of 2024 was 95.6%. At the Novokuibyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant, thanks to the construction and commissioning of recycled water supply units, the share of recycled water supply increased to 95%.
Rosneft subsidiaries systematically work to replenish aquatic bioresources in the Volga basin. In 2024, the Company’s Samara enterprises released more than 430 thousand fish fry, including valuable sterlet, into the Volga waters.
The effectiveness of the environmental policy of Rosneft enterprises in the Volga Federal District has been repeatedly noted at regional and all-Russian competitions. For many years, the enterprises have become winners of the competition “Leader of Environmental Activities in Russia”.
